What a waste! All those people I hadn't killed yet.

　　Ugh. We're not going to lie to you. That was ugly. The Sinister Sixteen round of competition was the toughest, most competitive round yet and had some very, very close calls. But the bloody business of the day is over, and only eight--eight elite, evil enfants terribles--remain. And they aren't done yet, because the Evil Eight round begins now, and your votes will determine these villains' fates, even as they cut their ranks in half.

　　The Evil Eight are on deck and prepared to do battle. Do not keep them waiting. And do not, under any circumstances, show the slightest hint of mercy.
